Consider the pushdown automation (PDA) P below, which runs on the input alphabet {a, b}, has stack alphabet {$$\bot$$, A}, and has three states {s, p, q}, with s being the start state. A transition from state u to state v, labelled c/X/$$\gamma$$, where c is an input symbol or $$\in $$, X is a stack symbol, and $$\gamma$$ is a string of stack symbols, represents the fact that in state u, the PDA can read c from the input, with X on the top of its stack, pop X from the stack, push in the string $$\gamma$$ on the stack, and go to state v. In the initial configuration, the stack has only the symbol $$\bot$$ in it. The PDA accepts by empty stack.
